I think they mean that they don't have affection for AV programs- it's really quite normal to not feel affection for a inanimate and intangible piece of electronic code, so this comes as no surprise.

Avira. Why can you select more than one option? You should only be running one AV at one time...

I am using AVG on my desk top, wife's laptop has Avast, and unfortunately my work laptop has Symantec. I would replace symantec but the IT guys would would have strung up from a flag pole by my toes.

I also do the occasional DR.Web CureIt scan.

Good question. I tried to search for its origin, but I came up empty (must be some Norton thingy...LOL).
However, it has a lot of bad press, judging from Google search.
